To esjouir Bachelor houses ...

The first record of the Planets Consort Concert is devoted to the Renaissance Psalms. We know these works harmonized for four voices, partly thanks to the achievements of the Louvre Oratory (Florian HOLLARD) and the Ensemble Clément Jannequin (Dominique VISSE).

This CD presents the originality of four mixed voices mingle with viols, supported by a positive organ. This type of training, very popular in England in the Elizabethan period is consistent with the address "To the readers" of the collection of 150 psalms translated by Clément Marot and Theodore Beza, and harmonized by Claude Goudimel: "We added the singing of the Psalms, in small volume, three parts. not to induce to sing in the church, but to God esjouir particularly Bachelor houses "

The result is superb. The concert Planets creates a climate full of poetry and spirituality, with, in particular, the subtle play between human voices and those of the instruments. A record that I recommend without reservation.
